I just felt a certain amount of closure today that I haven't felt. He kind of said our M is over & I'm done in December, and today was good for me in feeling like there was some closure to it. I stood up for myself, told him how I felt. I feel like I've said everything I need to. Karen
Then there won't be any need for any further R convos/text wars like this one, and there won't be any need for any 2x4s.
Karen, there's nothing wrong with doing this ONCE, maybe twice. The trick is to not stay in reactive mode, but to move on and refuse to engage any further the next time, now that everything's been said that NEEDS to be said. From now on, when he starts, just give him "You know how I feel about that; I've spoken my peace. I'm not going to discuss this with you, and I certainly am not going to sit here and let you be rude to me. G'nite."
